- Ho Chi Minh City - Guests will be picked up from their hotel and taken to explore the lesser-known areas of this vibrant southern Vietnamese city. The tour begins with a relaxed stroll through themed streets featuring birds, bonsai trees, miniature landscapes, local antiques, and handicrafts.
- Fito Museum - Museums of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine & Pharmacy - Discover a traditional medicine museum and delve into the art of healing, passed down through generations. This first museum of traditional medicine in Vietnam is renowned for its beautiful interiors, crafted entirely from wood. Wooden house frames were transported from northern provinces to Ho Chi Minh City to give the museum an antique appearance.
This 5-hour tour includes visits to unique local markets, which are off the typical tourist path but definitely worth exploring. From street stalls selling decorative flowers to wartime memorabilia, these bustling markets offer a genuine taste of local life and are some of Saigon’s hidden gems. One stop is a busy local market, where approximately 100 households receive between 1,000-3,000 flower boxes daily, which are then distributed to buyers throughout the city.
- Saigon Street Eats - This engaging exploration will reveal how essential various objects and practices are to the Vietnamese people, both physically and spiritually. A delightful surprise awaits at an authentic home-cooked meal or a nostalgic Saigon café, tucked away in an old apartment. Naturally, experiencing the authentic side of the city includes sampling local snacks and delicacies unique to this region.
After 5 hours of exploring the lesser-known parts of Saigon and experiencing this lively, dynamic city beyond the usual attractions, guests will be returned to their accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City.
